Seven can’t take it due to sport coverage. Other networks may be interested.

I don’t think Nine should be taking credit for NASA’s project.

Whatever automation ABC News is using has been dreadful.
Audio levels all over the place, random wipes, glitchy supers, random vision in their mini boxes…
At once stage they crossed to their gather round reporter, with the mini box having the nasa vision covering her face. Doesn’t the director have comms with the camera guy?
It’s sad that this is what tv has become.
At one point it was this. Certainly odd to look at.
It was at this time that WB handed over to NC’s dayside operation, although the heavy reliance on NASA TV audio didn’t make it seem like a smooth one.
Noon TOTH - “You’re watching the ABCNC” as also heard on ABC TV. Whether they stay for the 12.30 presser remains to be seen.
NASA TV’s broadcast feed cut off 12.22pm. It still supplied a live feed aboard USS Murtha, which US channels are taking.
Confirmed that the presser will not be shown on ABC TV.

I was watching WS and the touch down was pretty tedious with lots of dead air. They wrapped coverage after it was in the water. I’m not sure it was worth sitting around waiting for them to emerge, because I don’t think they knew how long it was going to be. I get you are talking about the numbers in hindsight, but I think I would have made the same call.
They could have just moved on to other news in the meantime while putting the live feed in a small box.
But they ultimately ended coverage before all astronauts have been recovered, which now in hindsight - and the numbers proved it - is a massive mistake.
Early coverage of the Hungarian parliamentary election. Hír TV is the only one talking about it all day, using the “Hungary Votes 2026” branding.
The graphics are serviceable FWIW.
ATV and M1 will join later in the evening local time, the former of which divides its EPG into codings akin to Australian networks.
And so it begins, election night 2026.
ATV began at 5pm CET with “the final hours” coding. It will change to “the results” at 7pm and “winners & losers” at 9.50pm.
It does feel like the moderator is on a different studio altogether, instead of a different part of it. They also wheeled out result graphics early with no numbers yet in in what I can assume is the “seats to watch” segment.
Hír TV next up at 6pm. They really thought a good opener is to have the intro playing on the video wall, then six presenters walked in, and the lights got lit up. Certainly a concept of all time.
Of course, state TV gotta state TV. Their opening montage voiceover was “Left-wing disobdience* or proud sovereignty? War and chaos or peace and stability? Vulnerability or ruthless national interest assertion?” *Couldn’t quite get that word so that’s what I assume it was.
No wonder why they were banned from entering opposition party Tisza’s HQ.
There was also an interview space at Bálna convention center.
M1 last to go at 6.30pm CET. AR is heavily featured. That party breakdown is not an exit poll or a projection, it’s the current parliament set to be dissolved.
There was a countdown clock to polls close at 7pm except it was shown at 7.03.
Note - They’re also state TV so have to stay out of Tisza HQ as well.
7.10pm: ATV released seat projection (presumably based on the final poll conducted, not the exit poll). Tisza is heading for a legitimate majority (the normal 50%+1 majority is a lame-duck one).
Fidesz would be reduced to parliament filler. All other parties won’t even get enough % to have seats.
There was also an attempt to estimate the final number of raw votes. Unnecessary but that’s what they did.
The first result was in at 8.10pm CET (approximate).
Hír TV really was not a good place to see the results, on the basis that it’s hard to see the results at all. They also don’t feature a constant seat tally.
ATV did have a seat tally, initially via regular crosses to its website and later as a dedicated graphic.
That national “win/lead” map certainly does not even closely resemble what Hír TV’s opening montage showed.
M1 was AR a lot of the time as mentioned and only used full-screeners to break things up a little bit every now and then.
English nets only focus on the primary story, Orban’s concession. At least F24 gave the numbers for additional context.
Seven had no vision from overnight but still reported on the story. Nine didn’t appear to have a report at all.
